“There’s no gentle way into A Pink Triangle, and that’s exactly the point. This new play by Kirby Taylor… wastes no time setting its tone—grim, intimate, and deeply human.”
“It’s heavy material, but what emerges is a tightly focused, emotionally charged drama that lingers long after the lights come up.”
Jared Fessler, Broadway World

About the Play: A Pink Triangle

“A Pink Triangle” shines a light on an often overlooked victim-survivor group of the Holocaust, gay men. The story, set in a concentration camp, focuses on an intolerant father and his gay son as they attempt to find common ground, hope, and forgiveness.

The play uses minimal sets, emotionally resonant monologues, and dynamic storytelling to give voice to the silenced.

A Pink Triangle is a mosaic of memory and resistance. The script encourages inventive staging, breaking traditional theatrical boundaries to highlight the timeless relevance of its themes.
